The Benefits of Revealing the Quran Gradually:
One of the objections of the polytheists of Makkah was that if the Quran were the word of Allah, it would have been revealed all at once. Otherwise, this Prophet is composing it gradually and, according to circumstances, keeps reciting it to the people. In response to this, Allah Almighty said that it is We Who have revealed this Quran from time to time and gradually, and there are many wisdoms and benefits in revealing it in intervals. For example, it makes it easier for people to memorize it; also, everyone knows on which occasion a particular verse was revealed and what its correct meaning is. Furthermore, it becomes easier for people to act upon its commands and to abstain from its prohibitions, and if all the commands and prohibitions had been revealed to them at once, everyone would have rejected them and no one would have had the courage to implement them upon themselves. Also, by revealing verses at different times, the faith of the believers keeps increasing and becomes stronger; they develop the strength and steadfastness to endure hardships, and all these benefits could only be achieved if the Quran was revealed gradually and gradualness was observed in commands and prohibitions.
